Re: [SLUG] next problem

If it is trying to boot straight into the graphical startup (init 5), but it can't get X running properly, that would explain the server already running on 0. Try pressing CTRL ALT BKSPC to cancel the X server, then you should be able to log on from the command prompt otherwise, CTRL ALT F2 to

Re: [SLUG] KDE printing
